Default Squeal sound from new motor???

Just got the new motor in and running everything seems good, Good oil pressure (60psi cold idle), no knocks, not smoke at all and no valve train noise (sewing machine)... But as i am turning the motor off it it has a squeal as the motor is shutting off, doesnt do it while driving at all. Anyone maybe know what it could be??? it does have a brand new belt if that makes a difference.

any idea where its coming from? that would help us help you. it could be a tensioner pulley or any pulley. have someone turn off the car while you stand by the engine bay so you can tell us more about the sound.

yea im going to say it is something simple. I have heard quite a few cars do that maybe you have some coolant on the belt or something. I would be a lot more worried if it was continuous while the engine was running.

I was under the car and noticed both headers are slightly rubbing my k-member, i think that is what might be causing this noise... so i gotta pull my headers off and do a little grinding on the k-member and see if thats it.
